Does anyone here make their own cold brew coffee?

I just started recently and wish I had done so sooner. Saving myself some money as I used to buy a lot of premade stuff.

I hardly even drink coffee anymore.

I used to drink it a lot when I worked at the Kia Dealership.

Now with covid and being back in school, I hardly drink it.

I've been doing it for a couple of years. I do it the relatively quick way with a Cuisinart. I don't have time to do it any other way thanks to work and kids.

Please elaborate on the Cuisinart. Are you referring to the automatic cold brew coffeemaker?

In my case I got a simple one like this. Works amazingly well.

Can't you just use a french press?

I don't think it's the same thing though admittedly I've never tried to make cold brew with one. You need to have a very fine filter inside to hold the ground coffee which doesn't exist in a French press so you'd end up with coffee particles floating around in it which would not be good.

The product I'm using is 64oz in size and very durable, yet light weight. After it's done brewing I simply store it in the fridge.

Yes, the automatic one. It's pretty good. I've had better, but it's quite good for quick work. I grind beans, brew, put into fridge overnight.

All you need is a pitcher and a filter.

Grind the coffee fine, add water, let it sit for a few hours. Filter it and enjoy.

It aint rocket surgery.

True, but making a good tasting one takes some experimenting. A few hours isn't enough for me. Mine brew closer to 24 hours and serves as a nice wake-up.

I just use a glass cold brew jug off Amazon like posted above. Once that is brewed I move it to a used store bought cold brew jug and start another batch in the first container. This way I can drink one and know more is always being made for the next batch.

The Kyoto tower method is more of a show piece to display than to deliver any discernible flavor differences. I have my tower displayed on a bar cart and very rarely use it. It's a pain to clean and like I said, doesn't really give you anything that a simple submersion cold brew doesn't.

For small batch, just use a french press, add 1 part coarse grind coffee to with 5 parts water (up to 8 parts water if you don't want it super concentrated). Set the top on and press it down so the grounds are just barely submerged and let it steep for 16 to 24 hours. After steeping, press it, then I run it through a filter after because the french press tends to let some grounds through the mesh.

For large batch, I use a large pitcher (I think it's 1 gallon) and put the coarse ground in a nut milk bag. Submerge the grounds with the same ratio above and let it sit for the same time. This doesn't need to be filtered, just remove the bag, wring it out and serve.

Nothing strange about that at all. To be clear, cold brew coffee is black

I've come to the conclusion my 24 hour brew is the trick for a quick pick-me-up.

When you forget you're brewing some and discover it 27 hours later. It works as a nice pick-me-up to be sure.

For me, cold brew is good all year round
I do drink hot coffee as well. For a quick pick-me-up a small glass of cold brew does the trick though.
